    "content": "(b) The housing policy in the Public Service was implemented with effect from 1st July, 2001. The policy covers the Civil Service, the Teachers Service Commission, the Parliamentary Service Commission, the Judicial Service, State Corporations and Statutory Boards, semi-autonomous Government agencies, local authorities and all public universities. In the first phase, 2001, the Government was guided by the prevailing market rates as provided by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. The Government divested from the policy of providing housing for its employees and implemented a market-based house allowance to all public servants with exception of the security services. The house allowance rates were graduated to approximate market rates for the respective regions. As a result, the regions were categorised as Nairobi, the major municipalities of Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Nyeri, Kakamega, Eldoret, Kisii, Thika, Kitale and Malindi, and the other small municipalities and all the other areas. The market rates indicated that an officer based in, for example, Lokitong, required a lower rate of house allowance as compared with one based in either Nairobi or one of the major municipalities. In order to ensure that public servants can still access reasonable housing accommodation, the Ministry requested the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics to conduct a new housing survey and provide statistics on the current housing rents for all the regions in the country. We expect the report to be given to us by the end of July, 2010. The findings of that survey will assist the Ministry in deciding what factors to consider in payment of house allowances for civil servants and will, therefore, be the basis of negotiations with the union on the basis of facts collected from the field. The Government commenced payment of commuter allowance for officers in Job âRâ, âSâ and âTâ in July, 2006. Arising from negotiations between the union officials and the Government to extend payment of commuter allowances to employees in Job Groups âAâ to âLâ, the Ministry has as of now requested Treasury to make budgetary provisions of Kshs5.6 billion with effect from the next financial year. (c) The Government also developed a new transport policy in 2006. Upon implementation of the policy, the Government approved payment of commuter allowances to officers in Job Groups âRâ and âTâ. The allowance was in lieu of official"
